I agree with the Yahoo site. It works well for the NorSea owners group (me included). The Montgomery Owners site exists there already. It was previously set up by Sean Mulligan (sp?) from Lake Havasu, AZ. It is a pain that all the communication goes through the yahoo mail server. That means it's practically the only mail I get from yahoo and I have to check it separately from my gmail. I have photos to post as well from a complete restoration on a Flush Deck but Dave S let me know that, as we all know, that this has been and continues to not be possible on MSOG or the sister photo site.

No, not at all. Yahoo is pretty junk for most things, but their 'groups' are pretty useful. It is just a group you join. You have to get a yahoo login if you don't have one but you don't need to use it for anything else but the groups if you don't want to. I don't use it for anything but that and a second-backup e-mail account for occasional emergencies with my regular accounts.

John would I have to make Yahoo my home page? I have gmail and Mozilla Firefox now. Yahoo seems to be all ads. I guess I am totally unfamiliar with your suggestion. < https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaig...

One suggestion...
Move to a Yahoo group, which has file and picture sharing and the option to get mail or view messages on web or both. I'm in a few other groups (including sailboat groups) that use Yahoo groups and it works well to augment the e-mail listserv piece we already have. Pictures can be in "albums" as well so it's not just one big pile of pictures.
This list is AFAIK a mailman listserv - e-mail list - which is basically all mailman does (and does it very well, for decades now, but, it's just an e-mail list server, doesn't provide any other features/functions)
There are other more techie options I won't go into now because they involve upgrading the MSOG site to something we can all "join" and then have ability to share pictures, files, etc..

I second that notion. A picture is worth a....well you know the rest. We
are an inventive bunch. Why not set up something where we can share our knowledge and inspiration? Especially in these long, dark, cold, frozen, blustery (have I missed any adjectives?) winters. Food for thought is food for the spirit. (Have I missed any cliques?) Warm breezes, Tom B <

Is it possible to post new pictures to the MSOG or MSOG PHOTO site? I
have looked at, studied, and, in some cases, drooled over each existing picture many times. I would love to see updated pictures and some new/different projects. I know we can include pictures with posts on the TrailerSailor site (why not here?) but I would like to see some whole new albums like on MSOG.
